An elderly man discovered his home health aide was stealing from him when his friend set up some “granny cams” to catch her in the act. Carmen Vera, 42, was arrested and charged with theft.
The 73-year old victim said Vera, a home health aide employed by All About Care in Brick, had worked for him since December. Since then he noticed about $900 missing from both his armoire and wallet.
A close friend set up two secret cameras around the man’s bedroom to capture, in video form, any activity occurring in there.
Police said he had about 13 minutes of footage showing Vera “... clearly stealing.”

Granny cams are a great way to truly monitoring the situation. Not all caregivers steal, of course, but granny cams will catch the thieves among them!
Granny cams should be an essential part of any home or facility where there is a vulnerable elder.
